System V style init programs by Miquel van Smoorenburg that control the booting and shutdown of your system. These support a number of system runlevels, each one associated with a specific set of utilities. For example, the normal system runlevel is 3, which starts a getty on virtual consoles tty1-tty6. Runlevel 5 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts down the system. See the individual man pages for inittab, initscript, halt, init, powerd, reboot, runlevel, shutdown, and telinit for more information.

It supports most of the rdesktop 1.1/1.2 arguments, can read .rdp files in the Microsoft Unicode format, writes new .rdp files in ASCII (which can also be read by the Microsoft RDP Client), and looks and functions very much like the Microsoft RDP Client. It features a Gnome panel applet to quickly launch saved rdp files.
